In November 1995, NAKS Kaseko Loco was founded, an Afro-Surinamese band that has taken kaseko and kawina music to new heights. Now, 30 years later, we are celebrating their rich history with a special anniversary year. In September 2026, the band will present a unique theatrical concert: 30 Years of NAKS Kaseko Loco: A Musical Train Journey. This concert is amplified. More information is on this page.
Jazz and pop music It goes without saying that The Concertgebouw and jazz & pop music make a perfect combination. The stages of both the Main Hall and the Recital Hall have borne witness to nearly the whole of jazz history. Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald have both performed here, as have Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.
